He has published several peer-reviewed articles in leading academic journals including Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Common Market Studies, and Journal of European Integration. In addition, he is the author or co-author of several chapters in handbooks and edited volumes dealing with aspects of European integration and EU politics. He is the co-author of the monograph “The European Council as a Crisis Manager: The EU’s Fiscal Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic” (with Wolfgang Wessels and Tobias Kunstein. 2022). His research has also been published in several European and national newspapers, as well as in the form of blog posts.

“This outstanding book makes an invaluable addition to the burgeoning literature on the crises of the European Union. … Schramm’s book is compulsory reading for all scholars and students of EU politics and European integration. It is well conceived, thoroughly researched and lucidly argued, thereby setting a new benchmark in the field against which future contributions will likely be measured.” (Douglas Webber, International Affairs, Vol. 101 (1), 2025)
